depends on who has stock in the various oil companies. BTW, that also means average investors can be making money off oil.Which Dem is getting rich from the price of oil, which Republican is getting rich off today's price of Oil?
If you have a 401k then you're probably getting rich from the price of oil.





I understand that Gore is heavily invested in the oil business, so it's not a particular political group that invests in particular parts of the stock market.





The real culprit is the democrat senate run by Pelosi who just signed a sham of an energy bill into law. She should be kicked out of office for continuing to make it impossible for us to get more domestic oil. She wants us to pay high prices because she's invested in the T. Boone Pickens scheme.





So it turns out to be mostly democrats who are to blame for high fuel prices, and coincidentally the democrats are the most heavily funded by the oil companies as well.





Since they took over the senate and house the prices have gone from $2.25 a gallon to over $4.





Follow the money.
First, the government is getting a huge share of taxes from the high price of gas/oil. Why would they want it to go down?





And it isn't who's invested in oil that matters. Pelosi and the bunch are invested in Natural Gas and now the exploration of that commodity is more cost effective because regular gas is so high. She and other envirofascists are pushing for natural gas as an alternative because they are invested in it. I have nothing against using natural gas, but keeping regular gas so high to achieve that end, manipulating the market with their power by not letting us drill oil, is criminal and tyrannical.
Good question. To answer your question about the oil families, it is the Rockefellers. They are democrats. When the Dems took over congress in 2006, they campaigned on the high price of oil and gas. It was $2.20 a gallon and $60 a barrel. All senate subcommittees changed from Republican run to Democratic run. Unemployment was at 4.6% and now it is 6.1% the Dow was at 12,400, now 11, 050. The parties throw stones at each other, but look at the track record above.
Republicans getting rich are ';old'; oil families in the US. They are numerous and really don't care much about politics.





Democrats getting rich off oil are lawyers. They've managed to file law suits usually on 'behalf'; fo the environement and get pay offs from the oil- the higher the price the higher the payoff...sadly the environment itself gets almost nothing.
What Oil families ?





Thewre are no Individuals, Famlies or groups that own or control Big Oil





IE: Exxon, Cheveron, BP, etc.





Plus, you have to factor in, the world oil price, is not controled by America.





You seem to have forgotten,





Canada, Russia, Venezuela, Nigeria, Britian, Netherlands, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Mexico.





The largest oil producing nations.
Although the answer to both of your questions is both you really miss why they are getting rich. It is not so much that they are invested in oil but that they take money from the oil companies in order to get reelected. It is their position in political office that allows the amassing of money and as long as the oil companies are willing to buy elections for them with campaign contributions they will continue to get rich in their own way while writing laws that allow the oil companies free reign to plunder the people and the economy.
The real culprits have no party affiliation and will use both as a political tool to devalue stocks and currency's to buy at a cheaper price.





George Soros and his kind are your enemy. Or has no one questioned the motives of a jewish Nazi collaborator who has stated that he thinks nothing of destorying a nation's currency if he makes a profit. Was moveon.org not also used to attack Halliburton endlessly then once the stock was devalued the attacks stopped and a purchase of nearly 2,000,00 shares was made by Soros himself.





Neither party is innocent of being a pawn of globalist economic predators.
Every Democrat and Republican, alike, that owns oil stocks.


Truthfully, the people that are getting rich are the families with the Middle Eastern Oil. Have you seen the lavish hotels that they are building. Trust me, it is like something off of a movie screen. You cannot imagine, because we have nothing like that.
the arabs are the ones getting rich! and exon , i think its time we cut off there wheat supply and see what happens. cut off all ties to saudi and boycott exon. the big shots that run these oil companies are making a killing off this boom in price of theirs. too freaking bad their employess arent reaping some of the benefits. its always the people who dont actually do the work , that make the money off the backs of their employess, i am sick to death of that. its in every co. in america now, greed . and at the super market they use the excuse that milk is over 4.00 a gallon cause of the oil prices, that is bunk, the price of oil went down, but i sure didnt see the milk going down much. so it trickles down big profits for everyone, except for the employees. same old same old, the rich get rich and the poor stay the same. Greed is one of the 7 deadly sins, and we can all see how that greed is hurting the world.
Just any excuse will shoot the price of oil through the roof, now it's the uncertain outcome of the big bail out, next it will be when Buck


Rogers takes a crap on the planet Zeus! There is no need for a real, excuse, they can take it out on anything as long as they are making the money and all the rich cronies in Washington as well as state governments have their stinking paws in our pockets!
If we follow the money, I see it this way.





1. Who benefits from high priced oil - Answer: Saudi's


2. Who benefits from NOT drilling - Answer: Saudi's


3. Why won't Congress Drill - Answer: Saudi's





I think the Saudi's are bribing Congress. Offshore accounts are not uncommon. Remember Pelosi just got back from the Middle East, hmmmm.





Congress always ';dresses up'; their arguments so they look good at what they are doing. Pelosi - ';I don't want to harm the environment';., what she really means is ';I'm getting well paid to stall drilling';.
There is no doubt in my mind that Nancy Pelosi is making a killing off these oil prices.





Why else do you think she's against drilling for oil? Because she sure not as concern about going ';green'; as she expect everyone to believe she is. Why? You don't see her selling off her SUV.





Here's proof that I'm not just running my mouth:
For Dems...it's Al Gore Jr., his family wealth continues to come from Occidental Petroleum.





For Reps, Dick Cheney...not sure if W still owns oil at this time.





But as far as keeping Oil Prices high...that belongs to Nancy Pelosi and the Democratically controlled Congress. They continue to block Oil Drilling Offshore...and specifically within 50miles where known reserves exist.





The Oil Land Leases are for exploration and doesn't ensure Oil Reserves...only the ability to look and test drill for it.





The Dems have also blocked Natural Gas Drilling Offshore...what's the spill risk there? I guess they wanted to kick T. Boone Pickens' Plan to the curb as well!
McCain's friends are getting rich with all the scarey disasters..


ooh save the financial people that did bad loans and now save GM and other car dealers.





Wait.. is congress building a socialist government. Then I want to not pay for health care. These Health Care companies, and Prescription/Pharmacies are crooks and if they can't charge more or get more money then that would be great.






the Bush family actually does have ties with the Saudi's that control oil. GOOD TIES....





what does that tell you.





FURTHERMORE.....all you righties need to pull your own heads out of your OWN a**es!!! You gonna tell us to pull them out of michael moore's and THEN proceed to talk about Dems control over congress?!?!?!? YEAH. FOR 2 OF THE LAST 8 YEARS.....IT'S GONNA TAKE A HECK OF A LOT LONGER THAN THAT TO CLEAN UP BUSHIES MESS....





god you guys really love advertising your lack of intelligence don't you =)
Kelly L./ Going to take more than two years I guess for the demo's to get back from vacation every week instead of taking care of business..Lazy Bast--ds stay on vacation more than in congress..plus suck up to anything with money trying to get em some more.


Kennedy, Polocie, Osama, O Biden, Reed..what a joke to run the US..this is absolutely pathetic.





Need another smoke after thinking of the Crats...



If oil was discovered in New England they would all be Democrats and making the same money so, what's your point?





Anybody with half a brain would buy some Exxon stock and go for a drive. You're either going to stand there and watch the world go by or get on.
Thats an assumption considering that Obama recieved a lot of money from oil companies. The infamous W is not a part of any oil company other than having some friends and relatives in the business and I doubth they write him a check.
Speaking of money...the stock ticker on CNN has quit tickin'.





And the discussion board has locked up.





How much do you want to bet that they both start working again at the closing bell 30 minutes from now and the market will be in the tank.





(rumor control)
Al Gore still has a huge stake in Occidental Petroleum.





The Bush family is practically divested from Oil stocks.





Most Americans with 401k's or other retirement accounts own Oil stocks, so they are being benefited.
@former dem probably put all that dividend check back in his tank, hahaha





All I can say is that I love my non-guzzler car. I'm not making anyone rich really and if I want to enjoy riding, I take my horse.
Any Republicans or Democrats that own oil stock have done very well. I am not privy to the political affiliations of all of the families in the US that are involved with oil..
Look it up Durbin from IL has holdings in oil companies.





That is one that comes to mind.


Google it you be surpised those who cry against oil companies get funded by oil companies.
Wow - a totally uneducated question. Millions of everyday Americans own oil stock in their 401K plans and retirement plans. Get a clue will ya?
Oil Barons are all Republican supporters, but not necessarily Americans themselves. Actually some Arab Oil Barons support Republicans but hate America.
No, the Dems get rich off of Big Green. Look at Pelosi and her ';green'; stock investments, then look at how many billions in legislative grants she's trying to push through California.





Let's not call out one without the other...
I doubt you are old enough to have an IRA or mutual funds but when you grow up and become informed if possible you will find that every investor is making money and not ALL investors are republican.
Actually the people making the money would be the CEO's and stock holders which could have political leanings either Dem or Repub maybe even independent-



Most Democrats and most Republicans invest in oil, why wouldn't they? I couldn't tell you which ones are getting rich off of it though. I know Cheney has made a killing through oil investments.
Which Dem senator got richest of Freddi Mac and Fannie Mae?





To answer your question, Pelosi, Stevens
